I received a fabulous package from Donna - Lv2sew2011; she made the nicest table topper and Christmas wreath and sent along some lovely fabric, a small manicure set, lotion and journal. I will try and post photo later this weekend - need to charge my camera so I can take a picture first. Thank you so much for package Donna - I love it.

Wow! Daisy Mae is really going out in style this season - what a great little coat.

OK, one more and I will let you alone! This is my Christmas Challenge piece for our quilt guild. We received the red snowman fabric and could do anything with it. Could add whatever we wanted, but could not add additional challenge fabric.

Well I heard back from Patrice about the 2 swaps I wanted to
do. One of them she declined to allow me to do it oh well so be it. The other she said it needed some tweaking and that she would get in touch with me tomorrow, so we will see how that will go for it.

Just before the board changed I sent PatriceJ a PM
asking about setting up a swap and MANY of you seemed to be interested or at least curious as to what I had planned. Well Patrice replied back to be requesting that I resubmit my request after Nov. 15 so I just finished sending her the new request, in fact I sent her a request for 2 different kinds of requests. So with that said we shall see IF either of them get the approval or not. Keep your fingers crossed. |

Charles received his secret pal package from Vickie W. He is dictating to me what he wants me to say...his excuse....I CANT TYPE. LOL. I told him to hen peck but he wouldnt go for that. So this is what he is saying.
"Thank You Vickie W for the nice package. I liked everything you put in it. My favorite thing was the flies that were handmade by your cousin. He did a nice job. This is what Vickie sent to me. 8 fishing flies handmade by her cousin, a picture in a frame with a bible verse Isaiah 40:31, an Uncle Sam figurine, a note table with snowmen on it, a pen, 5 fat quarters, a deck of cards, and a small wooden box with pheasants on it. M & M's, kit kat, and Reeses peanut butter cups. And a really nice letter. My wife laughed when I was reading the note where Vickie says "however, there are times I know he is also suffering from Husband's ear". That was supposed to be one of men's top secret secrets..women were not supposed to figure that out. LOL" I am trying to attach a picture of his goodies..hopefully it will work. :) Thank you again for Charles Vickie. |

Teresa,
The swap that was shot down was a R.A.K. address swap. Basically only thing being swapped would be mailing addresses to be "saved" (sent via pm's ONLY). I will explain what it is that I DO on my own. When I am in a swap (and for those who wish to be put on my "list" outside of swaps), I "save" the addresses and put them on my list. Than at random times I will select one, two or even more "names" and just perform a R.A.K. (random act of kindness) by sending the person(s) a little note that says "thinking of you" or I have been known to send a little box of "goodies" or even just a fat quarter. But the thing is it is all random I may not send anything for a month or so, but than again I may send 1-20 (depending on what the budget is like) more in a month. I know it probably sounds confusing, but for me I have a "system" worked out that I have been using for over 3 years from another quilting group (cafemom). I LOVE reading the comments from those who receive something me because they are surprised by the randomness of it. But since that swap was shot down, I will continue to collect the addresses from the swaps I join and slowly build my list that way. One thing I do NOT do is SHARE anyones information unless I specifically have thats persons permission to share their address. In fact I have all that kind of information password protected on my computer even my family (mainly hubs) can not access the info. I take my friends person information such as their addresses seriously. So just be "warned" that if you have done ANY kind of swap with me it is HIGHLY likely that someday you might just receive a little something outside of any swaps.

I sure hope you get the pictures to work..I would love to see it :thumbup:...Diana |
Kris I love the wall hanging you made. Krystyna Daisy Mae's new outfit is divine. All the other doggies will be so jealous.
Juli how is your sister and the new baby? Is it a boy or girl? Mary any ideas how to handle the presser foot when I teach my granddaughter to sew? Should I put it on box and let her press it (shutters) or should I press the petal for her? Airwick I'm so glad that Charles is having fun doing the swap with us. |
Robyn,
Sure I will swap addresses with you and anyone else who wishes too. Just go right ahead and send me a PM.

Hi Lousie. I do the same thing. I like to send things besides my secret pal just to so they get something a little extra. I like making things for others and sending them. I would be happy to exchange addresses with you and put you on my list of friends.

Thank you again SP I love everything! :)

Robyn I let my grandkids start with the peddle. I move the machine to the coffee table so they can work the peddle.This is done with no needle and pressure foot down.Then they learn to use the needle no thread on paper. Then you just move them as they get the hang of things. Mine learn it is a machine and they can get hurt so lets start with the small stuff first.Good luck.Louise sorry your swap was denied.Hope the other is accepted.Charles you recieved a wonderful swap. You also sent a terrific swap. Glad your in the secret pal swap with all of us.Lori husband ear is when they never hear a word their wife says. My husband has it really bad.Only thing that helps is a big ole frypan lol.Carrot I love the list for going to the waiting bench.lolLeiladylei I think that purple fabric is mine. If you would just send it on to me,I would appreciate it. Mary

"Leiladylei I think that purple fabric is mine. If you would just send it on to me,I would appreciate it. Mary" I think NOT!!! Mine, mine, mine......ALL MINE!!! You know, for someone who's favorite colors include purple, I don't have any in my stash until now. So you think I'm gonna give it up....nope, nadda, uh uh, forget it!!! LOL |
My two favorite colors are yellow and purple, but I really like
ANY color EXCEPT brown. What is the color I have the LEAST in my stash? orange!!! yep you read that correct , heck I even have more brown in my stash than I do of orange.

I want to thank my secret pal Katie Ann for the wonderful box of goodies. It came while I was in the hospital. I have been fighting pneumonia for 2 weeks, and spent 5 days in the hospital, 4 of which I was in the ICU. The box included a few fat quarters, garden gloves, a book, a journal, candy (yum!), some lotion and a pink pair of scissors! I was spoiled! Thank you so much! :)
